Hi,
I have this bike http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bik ... 309/49803/ and I need to add another bottle cage but can't find the Giant ones so I'm thinking of either http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/BOP ... loss_black or http://www.wiggle.co.uk/elite-custom-ra ... cage-2012/ or something else ? Not that bothered on weight but needs to hold bottle well oh and look good of course 8)

The Elite Custom are excellent bottle cages for the money. They hold a bottle securely but allow easy access. My personal favourite these days though are the new specialised rib cages. They have a minimalist design but again are secure and look good on a non-specialized bike, as the logo is very subtle.

I have the Roselines - very good at bottle retentionhttp://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=3370a&r=3&c=5&u=M&g=p&f=abcdefghij&z=a.png

They look pretty good, do they hold the bottle well ?

Yup. Never had a bottle go south and they're easy to get a bottle into by feel.0 -
I use a Zefal Carbon Cage. Looks awesome and obviously light weight.

I'm not sure about how secure they are.
The black version would look good on my bike I think.0 -
Thanks all, went for the Elite customs in black/white bargin for £20 for the pair and they look great on my TCR 8)0
